Alternative Rock project Love Ghost and Industrial artist Tim Skold (SKOLD, Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White) have been releasing a string of singles ahead of their debut Love Ghost x SKOLD album, which arrives this week on November 22nd, 2024, including the recent single and video for “Ski Mask.”
The 13-track album will arrive via Metropolis Records, continuing the label’s long relationship with Tim Skold. The two artists set out to bring the energy of Grunge to the rhythms of Industrial Rock.
Tim Skold comments:
We very deliberately tried to not have a specific “sound” for this album and instead make music that is genuinely honest and pure in that sense. We both have stylings and character so we didn’t feel that was something that needed much attention and instead focused on making a rad collection of songs that we felt are really cool. I think real and true diversity come from making sure you don’t stifle the raw creativity.
Finnegan Bell adds:
I would agree with Tim, we made music that we felt was from the heart and stimulated our imagination. The music sounds like multiple universes coming together to create something unique and we are proud of that. I’ve also always felt that art should be in the eye of the beholder, because it means something different for every individual person that is experiencing it.
